Tax documents show NFLPA activism goes beyond take-a-knee protests

Even before its feud over the national anthem with President Trump, the NFL Players Association wasn’t on the same political team as many of its fans, judging from its contributions to leftist advocacy groups. Tax documents released by 2ndVote show the NFLPA donated $5,000 in 2015 to the Center for Community Change Action, a group active in the anti-Trump resistance and bankrolled by a host of liberal foundations, including top Democratic donor George Soros’s Foundation for Open Society.

A member of the AFL-CIO, the NFLPA also contributed in 2013 and 2015 to Working America, the AFL-CIO’s community affiliate, which Open Secrets said spent $1 million in 2016 to defeat Trump. Working America has since mobilized against the Republican tax-cut framework, denouncing it as the “Trump tax scam.”

The NFLPA contributed $5,000 in 2014 to Jobs with Justice, another pro-union group backed by Soros, and $5,000 in 2013 to the progressive Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy.

The heartless, joyless, petty, hypocritical, divisive disease of liberalism. THAT'S what happened to the NFL.

I do believe that it is time for all genuine patriots to boycott the NFL FOREVER - and regardless of whether the players stand for the national anthem.

One thing about Trump is that he is like an MRI - contact with him reveals EVERYTHING about those who oppose him. Thank you, President Trump, for this latest revelation; we’re looking forward to more (which may come in the next week as we get ready to dump the Iran nuclear deal).

Partner, I hate to say this but the NFL has really hit raw nerves on this one.

First they take a knee and refuse to honor the U.S. Flag and dishonor our National Anthem and now we know that the NFL union cooperated with the Soros Left Winged Liberal Nut Case and other Far Left Liberal Nut cases. This is like getting a kick in the u know what.

We will not watch the NFL ever again.

We will watch College Football and H.S. football.

Where is Roger Goodell in all of this fiasco. Roger Goodell is no where to be found and he wants a big new contract???

Roger Goodell should get the boot instead of a new contract. This is like adding insult to injury.

Where are all the NFL owners on this???

I am glad that the Baseball playoffs and the World Series is just right around the corner.

We just love the Astros and Rangers down here in Texas. Go Astros!!!
